GowayPro Travel Academy hits 7,000 enrolled travel pros, 600 modules

Goway’s training program, the GowayPro Travel Academy, is celebrating a milestone, enrolling its 7,000th travel professional and loading its 600th training module.  

The educational platform is a fun, free, and easy way for travel pros to become experts on destinations they may have never visited themselves. 

Drawing on Goway’s first-hand travel knowledge and internal destination training program, the platform allows travel professionals to learn at their own pace as they become experts on countries, regions, and continents. 

Academy members can also become certified travel experts and gain exclusive rewards, including access to FAMs and cash rewards with the GowayPro Loyalty Program. 

The academy’s 600 training modules on 60 countries (and counting) are ACTA-accredited and ASTA-endorsed. They also allow travel professionals to earn CEU credits with the Travel Institute.

"Adversity often leads to new opportunities," said Don Forster, Goway's trade training and engagement manager. "The GowayPro Travel Academy was born from the COVID-19 pandemic with the realization that both Goway's Destination Specialists and our travel trade partners would need refresher training to return to the new normal of travel. It was also clear that many new agents were joining the industry as we emerged from imposed isolation and that training would be vital for them to get up to speed. From that, I'm proud that the GowayPro Travel Academy has grown to over 7,000 students, with more joining daily and seeing the value in ongoing education from a company that has focused on internal and external training for almost 55 years."

The launch of Goway’s new GowayPro Travel Tales podcast and the impending trade release of the revamped Globetrotting Magazine offer exciting new ways to stay up-to-date with the latest trends, insider tips, and stories from trusted travel professionals.

Travel professionals can join the GowayPro Travel Academy here for everything they need to become a Goway-certified Destination Expert and be a part of the Academy's next milestone.
